Biography

Dr Lianjiang Jiang (George) is an education researcher and a language teacher educator. His expertise is in multimodality and multiliteracies in second language education, with a focus on digital multimodal composing, multimodal assessment/feedback, and digital pedagogies. He pioneers in defining digital multimodal composing as a valid new literacy activity in L2 classrooms. He is also the creator of the genre-based model to evaluate digital multimodal composing. He is interested in how traditional reading and writing can be expanded and repurposed in today’s digital and multimodal world. He is guided by his conviction that second language education should be responsive to linguistic and cultural diversity, social change, and digital advancements. He is passionate about developing digital multimodal pedagogies to empower marginalized second language learners and teachers to cross the linguistic, cultural, and digital divides for individual growth and social mobility. His research has a strong social equity orientation that shapes his teaching and practice.  

Lianjiang (George) is Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator of research grants funded by Research Grants Council in Hong Kong. He has been offered chances to present his work across the globe including Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe. He has published in top-tier peer reviewed journals on digital multimodal composing, computer-assisted writing and multimodal feedback, and digital multimodal pedagogies. He is Editor for Research Dissemination for TESOL Quarterly. He is on the editorial board for Journal of Second Language Writing, TESOL Quarterly, Assessing Writing, Linguistics and Education, and Journal of Asia TEFL. He supervises PhD, EdD, Masters, and undergraduates' research projects in relation to multimodality and multiliteracies/digital literacies. He also leads the Digital Multimodal Composing Interest Group at HKU to build up a community of researchers and practitioners who share an interest in multimodality and multiliteracies in second language education. He has delivered workshops in K-12 school contexts to integrate digital multimodal composing into the language curriculum for linguistically and culturally responsive English language learning for students of diverse backgrounds.
